Indian fugitive Mehul Choksi is in Cuba?
Infamous Indian fugitive Mehul Chinubhai Choksi has escaped Antigua and Barbuda and is currently shifted to his luxury farmhouse in Cuba, revealed Mehul Choksi’s close aide Govin.
In conversation with WIC News, Nigel Joan revealed that
Govin – a close aide of Mehul Choksi – told him that he (Joan) was living with
Mehul Choksi after he fled India following multi-million fraud and reached
Antigua and Barbuda. “Mehul Choksi has left the country and most probably is
currently residing in his another luxurious home in Cuba,” said Govin to Joan.
A close aide of Choksi also revealed another exclusive
information about his another citizenship of the Caribbean country. Govin said,
“I am not sure about which country, but Mr Choksi has another citizenship of an
island situated in the Caribbean region apart from Antigua and Barbuda.”
According to Joan, Govin told him that Choksi left the
country due to fear of being extradited to India as pressure was mounting on
Prime Minister Gaston Browne to take strict action against the international
fugitive.
WIC News correspondent reached out to government officials
to confirm the exit of Mehul Choksi, where several senior Members of the
Cabinet expressed happiness following Choksi’s escape yet refused to provide
any official statement.
Tragically, the people of India will have to wait for
another 10 years before they could get back their money or bring the
international fugitive to justice.
Born on May 5, 1959, Mehul Choksi is an Indian-born fugitive
businessman. He fled India after being wanted by the Indian judicial
authorities for criminal conspiracy, cheating, criminal breach of trust, and
dishonesty, including corruption, money laundering and delivery of property.
Choksi owns Gitanjali group, a jewellery company that has
more than 4000 stores in India. He was not only involved in stock market
manipulation in 2013 but arrest warrants against him have also been issued in
India following the alleged Punjab national bank fraud case.
Mr Choksi is accused of allegedly perpetrating $2.5 billion
fraud along with his nephew Nirav Modi. The latter is also wanted in India and
is currently fighting his case against extradition in the UK court.
